This is just too funny…
What was it you Americans called the uncircumcised? Oh I remember “windsocks“.

Its "Cavaliers" in the UK, and "Roundheads" for those that had the snip.
A cavalier yesterday: http://gallery.euroweb.hu/html/h/hal.../16nolaug.html and his roundhead opponent: http://www.lichfield.gov.uk/heritage.../roundhead.jpg
Observe the headgear...

Re: To chop or not to chop?
Of course Roundheads were so named (as an insult by the Royalists) because the first recruits to Parliament's side were mostly apprentices in London, with their close cropped hair. Not because the cavalry worn a round tin hat.

Re: To chop or not to chop?
Circumcision is not mutilation. I had mine removed when I was around 4 or so because it was causing extreme pain every time I pissed and haven't regretted having it removed. It's nothing really, and doesn't cause any harm.
Re: To chop or not to chop?
Well, right, of course. If a part of your body is infected or otherwise malfunctioning, you treat it. The problem I have is with circumcision done routinely to perfectly healthy baby boys. When I have the time I'll link to a video the the Penn and Teller Bulls Hit program on circumcision, since they condensed a great deal of the same research I did into an easily-digested video format.
Although they completely missed out on the whole business of how circumcision got so darn popular in the U.S.
Re: To chop or not to chop?
Eh, it's like vaccination really. Prevents infection.
Basically now that people wear clothes the evolutionary reason for the foreskin isn't valid. And with circumcision you're less likely to get a urinary tract infection, std's, and some other infections.

Re: To chop or not to chop?
No it does not prevent infection. In fact it doesn't even reduce infection because the study is flawed. See my post #28.

Studies have shown no difference in infection rates of stds in modern western countries. The major medical associations in UK, Canada and US do not recommend and/or discourage routine circumcision.
